TAM - Tower Art Museum

The TAM – Tower Art Museum is a museum dedicated to contemporary production involving local, national and international artists in the heart of the Sassi of Matera.

In progress, extended until 9.6.2024 "Everything went well", an exhibition by Geometric Bang; an exhibition on the perception of the present and the past and on the creation of the imaginaries that our society generates and by which it is in turn influenced, in a self-reinforcing spiral. Historical events are simplified and reduced to short frames, they are flattened into scenes two-dimensional useful only to arrive at a minimum common denominator that generates a common understanding of a complex problem. The story becomes trivialized, in-depth analysis gives way to sensationalism and society is content, having overcome the temporary difficulties, to repeat that "it has gone Everything OK".

The research is aimed at finding symbols and figures that transmit information and generate shared meanings within the reference community: an example are the ASAFO flags, historically used in some areas of Ghana, which Geometric Bang's stylistic research is inspired by.

During the course of the exhibition, the facts and events that have built the common national thought return several times, crossing historical, social and cultural moments selected to tell how our country has lived the last eight decades of its history. Events become confused, temporal planes fall apart and complexities become thinner: the historical reading takes place through a personal journey, the result of the artist's direct experience.

The entrance to the museum and the beginning of the exhibition itinerary takes place from Via Ridola, 13 and continues in via gradelle pennino, 9: due to the morphological conditions of the Sassi the museum spaces are difficult to access for people with reduced mobility (PMR) .
